I'm Astrid, and I believe in the spirit of handmade, that grows from the handiwork of one, and that with their own hands and vision, they create something unique.

This crazy scissors-wielding chick has been sewing since she was six years old. I made my own clothes all through school, and in the world of **GASP** the mod 60's, the psychedelic 70's, the ska-punk 80's. In my 30 years in the world of science, I was that nerd wearing artsy fashions!

After a few years of sewing for my family, I now find myself excited and re-energized by a new generation of women who appreciate and crave unique expression in fashion. Among them you see a great group of friends who model for me from time-to-time -- and don't they look like professionals? So talented!

Everything I make is well-crafted with solid seams and serging, incorporating a lot of hand stitching at the finish. My mother called me Miss...priss in the early days, when she taught me to sew by hand, before I was ever allowed to use a machine. I named my ebay account, Miss...Priss, in her honor.
